    Just think how many places similar to this probably exist. It was common throughout history to bury valuables. Some people buried it to use throughout their own lives and to leave to their kids and some cultures even believed that whatever treasures you buried could be used by them in the afterlife. For instance Vikings believed exactly that and quite a few Viking hoards have been found over the years all over England, Ireland, Scandinavian countries, etc. Just imagine how many people buried stuff and died before being able to collect it. Some of it will never be found. Some of it will be found by some lucky basstid in the future. If I ever become rich, id like to bury some gold and cash and coins and leave little clues online and whoever finds it gets it. That would be awesome.

    The federal reserve took control

    I remember on the second episode of the Unsolved Mysteries special they said that an a man in the Air Force had written his name, rank and the date on the wall of the cavern in the 1960s. They also interviewed a man who said he helped Noss dig up some of his hidden gold bars.

    new documentery tv series just came out, first episode is available. Got me interested enough I searched youtube and this video was the first find. Great job on it bud.

    whether there is treasure or not it shows how much contempt governments have for us. Ok the military need secrecy but there must be miles of "lea way" they must know its leased by guys who think there is billions there but they still need to take it.

  6. SkeeterCoddiwomple on February 27, 2023 at 6:22 pm

    This story has always been my favorite Unsolved Mysteries episode.

  7. Mike Kenney on February 27, 2023 at 6:22 pm

    Although it is attractively romantic, the notion of “fingers keepers” is without basis. Both provenance and ownership is chaotic and potentially dangerous and corrupt. I love treasure stories and hunters. Everyone of them rails against authorities seizing the assets, but simultaneously insist that it is unilaterally theirs. Somebody is going to lose out. Bet you it’s not the USAF

  8. Treasure Tom on February 27, 2023 at 6:23 pm

    Well done nice summary

  9. carl gruver on February 27, 2023 at 6:25 pm

    I realize you put this out a year ago but it’s strange where ever large amounts of gold of silver has been found the place began a base it happened 3 times in Florida also in Nevada and several other States I also had something similar happen to me I found a Large treasure but only to have it taken from me by government people

  10. Ron Zeller on February 27, 2023 at 6:26 pm

    I realize this country is better than most but in America are we truly free. Our government has become tyrannical and they only look out for themselves not us. They lie to us they hide stuff from us they waste our money they steal from us hell we don’t even know if we got a fair election. I for one don’t care for Biden but if he was fairly elected the people have spoken. As far as Trump it’s been nothing but a witch Hunt I’ve never seen anything like this in my life I’m 54. I’m not getting on Biden because I don’t care for the far left because they’re not for the people I don’t care for him because in the day he might have been a good politician but today he can’t even make a complete sentence we need a new dictionary to figure out the words that he’s speaking. All I’m saying is as Americans we need to wake up a little bit and actually look beyond The box and see what’s going on it’s not in our best interest obviously the military the FBI the secret service all them they’re not going to do anything they know it’s wrong it’s left up to us when and what are we going to do about it.

  11. ChildofYHVH on February 27, 2023 at 6:27 pm

    I read about this in an old book. It had like 11 similar stories. I believe this 100%!!!!

  12. Edward Kawaleski on February 27, 2023 at 6:28 pm

    I always heard that the gold wound up on the private property of Lyndon Baines Johnson and being private property without proof put the end to this story. Somewhere in TEXAS

  13. Wavelength Radio on February 27, 2023 at 6:29 pm

    Well this is definatly the "light" version of the story. To bad.

  14. Cracker Jax on February 27, 2023 at 6:29 pm

    The Gov’t is literally a cartel and family business made up of dynastic families, their bloodlines and closest friends. They are CRIMINALS and entirely corrupt. YOU are their SLAVE.

  15. Pete Stsck on February 27, 2023 at 6:33 pm

    Wonder of they Shut it down because they found giant bones

  16. OrangePeel 🍊 on February 27, 2023 at 6:36 pm

    Stolen by the Government….LMFAO…our Government took every piece of important property and almost massacred Native American for their land and this is surprising….LMFAO

    I Don’t Want To Expedition American New Mexico Victoria Peak Gold Treasure Instead Of The Russian Huge Platinum Treasure In The Siberia.

  18. SHAQHER on February 27, 2023 at 6:37 pm

    Watergate was a CIA plot to subvert the will of the people! They also wanted to get rid of Nixon because he knew what the deep state was up to!
    Don’t believe me?
    Look up the recorded audio of Nixon telling the head of the deep state (CIA) that he knew who shot John (YES JFK)

  19. Brian Redban on February 27, 2023 at 6:38 pm

    I’m watching the series on Discovery Channel. I truly believe Doc noss made this up. If that much gold and artifacts were really in the mountain it would have take a massive caravan of horses and people and if that happened there must be camp sites and artifacts that a archeologists would easily be able to find. Also with all these large stories of hidden treasures would have to involve massive man power which would mean many people would no that it was hidden and the location and surly come back for it
    eventually.

  20. xDarthPooL on February 27, 2023 at 6:38 pm

    Dam, so wit the soldiers they were like good job now GTFO we got some gold to dig up.

  21. Jpthadeal on February 27, 2023 at 6:39 pm

    This is great. NM is the best and withholds many treasures like and unlike this.. NM true and NM STRONG✊

  22. SHAQHER on February 27, 2023 at 6:40 pm

    The government be like it was Germany or Maximilian…
    NOTHING TO SEE HERE FOLKS

  23. Lrgtreez TGOD on February 27, 2023 at 6:41 pm

    Im sure the greedy government got their hands all over it before allowing anyone else back on

  24. L.L.C. on February 27, 2023 at 6:41 pm

    U.S. Government, been stealing and murdering for well over 200 years.

  25. Bettilou Nunez on February 27, 2023 at 6:44 pm

    Less tjan an hour from here 20,000 year old footprints have been found which makes me wonder

  26. Tim Bartley on February 27, 2023 at 6:45 pm

    Yes I think it’s true cause our government will screw the people any chance they get

  27. andrew a on February 27, 2023 at 6:51 pm

    Do they know where the gold came from to be buried there in the first place??

  28. Chris M on February 27, 2023 at 6:52 pm

    Who else is hear from Mike rowss podcast

  29. yoblob34 on February 27, 2023 at 6:53 pm

    The problem was the government got wind of it. Greedy corrupt politicians have had this country in their grip for many decades probably longer than we will ever know.

  30. Robin Deatherage on February 27, 2023 at 6:54 pm

    This story came out on Treasure Seekers magazine in the 1940’s and 50’s. It’s fiction.

  31. Jenn (Hall) Nodine on February 27, 2023 at 6:57 pm

    Oh I bet that law was made specifically with this couple’s gold in mind.

  32. KX KRYDER EXPLORATION on February 27, 2023 at 6:59 pm

    My family heritage revolves around this project. So many facts people don’t know…

  34. Hidden Treasures on February 27, 2023 at 7:02 pm

    Do you think this treasure was dug up by the military or was it never there in the first place?

  35. Brian Hudson on February 27, 2023 at 7:02 pm

    You mean “28” Billion?

  36. Robert Rodz on February 27, 2023 at 7:04 pm

    buddy, is there a way we can do a video live chat …. I found something real close by this area like 30 yrs ago and which I had given to my beloved deceased father and I recently refound in his old garage after PROBLABLY being there ever since I gave it to him, it’s a like a 3or4 lbs bar of some sort of metal ,either gold or copper color metal , I actually found this on the side of a lonely New Mexico highway , had to stop to take an emergency no.1 but made sure no one saw me, I walked into some bushes and after doing my thing I just started walking on the side of the road to stretch out a little when this thing caught my eye cause it was sticking halfway out the ground which it had recently suffered a severed storm and was still raining while I was walking down the side of the road , I would love to show it to you, I really doubt it can be ,you know , like a gold bar, but after yrs of reading about the History of the state of New Mexico and it’s territory I actually found this this , It might be something worth checking out, I’m just a simple disabled dude, stroke survivor , just living a chill out life, and after reading about all the and SPECIALLY THIS STORY/HISTORY OF THE TERRITORY IT WAS FOUND, it could be something important, I actually tried to donate it to a near by city in my deceased parents name , they loved the state of New Mexico and traveled thru it 3 or 4 times a year, but since the local politicians from that town knew I was like disabled , they straight out told me they couldn’t accept it since I was disabled …. this thing could be worth like some money I could use ….. but honestly , I’m not to crazy about the cash , it could help but I don’t wanna get my hopes too high, but this piece is beautiful whether it’s gold or not, it’s just it would be awesome to know what it was doing out there …. maybe theirs more laying around ….. swear on my momma’s ashes I never went or drove back thru that highway ….. but it is like real close by this place you just mentioned in this video, and I would love to show you this piece on a video call …. I’m really dumb about this stuff, I’ve never prospected before , I just got iterested after I refound this piece I’m talking about …. it’s been sitting in a safe deposit box in my neighborhood Bank , like I said it might be worthless but physically and to me ,it’s a beautiful piece ……

  37. ncf1 on February 27, 2023 at 7:04 pm

    there is a staggering amount of proof it was stolen by the government and military and I find it equally as staggering that they got away with it, so easily.

  38. mickey rat on February 27, 2023 at 7:04 pm

    So was it Spanish gold or American bank robbers?

  39. De Cnijf Kris on February 27, 2023 at 7:04 pm

    Take care about what the law says about ownership of a treasure. In europe automatically 50 % is assignable to the state. The rest comes to to the finder and the owner or the leaser of that plot. Thus it could be that legally the whole find is to be assigned to the state.

    Being a 70 year old Arizona native, I heard this tale back years ago. What I heard was mostly like your story. Except that there was a big boulder in the main room. It was blocking another shaft that went down really deep. That was where the bulk of the metal was. What the military found was only what the old man brought up, a small amount. The drilled access came out high in the main room and it was too tough to recover metal that way. It seems that the very same dynamite charge that plugged the top access tunnel also shifted the boulder and capped the lower shaft. The rest is still down there, that is why the family still fights to reclaim it. He did mine it after the base was shifted to cover the mountain, but he had to enter thru the main gate and sign in to the base. After it was disclosed to the base CO, he then was locked out. Yes the Government got some metal but only a tiny part. As the widow told my Gramma, my Grand pa was a Deputy sheriff for Safford back then. I think this was a cavern system used to stash stolen gold by robbers. No mining happened.

    This is more real than you may know. Read the Gold House book series and your mind will be blown. There are audio recordings of the exploration on my website and youtube channel. AV Adams. The rabbit hole goes deep on this one.

  42. evan on February 27, 2023 at 7:07 pm

    i live in new mexico.. i hear about this case often. there is definitely still valuables down in that cave. getting down to it after they blew it.. almost impossible

  43. sonya frank on February 27, 2023 at 7:08 pm

    WELL WHAT’S NEW OUR CORRUPT GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN STEALING FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THIS COUNTRY. NOTHING HAS CHANGED.

  44. Carlos P. Enis on February 27, 2023 at 7:08 pm

    Of course airforce guys found some of the gold, it’s not like they got anything better to do

  45. Jesse Mongia on February 27, 2023 at 7:09 pm

    In the 70s president Nixon got the military to fence off and removed all of the gold .

  46. Enemy Of The State on February 27, 2023 at 7:09 pm

    The Federal government steals everything. Never let the Feds know if you ever find treasure.
